ISSUE WITH EVALUATION REMOVAL

Stephen · 2 Dec 2014, 14:24

Good morning all. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, please let me know if I should be posting this elsewhere.
I have been a happy user of v8(something), but i thought I would look at the evaluation version v14. After downloading it, I couldn't seem to get out of it. Operator error likely.
Every time I tried to open my older version, 8.---, I was immediately tossed into the newer evaluation version.
I uninstalled it. Now, my older version,8.-- is acting wonky. I cannot edit styles, when I select the paint bucket, no choice of color selection drop down is available.
I suspect there may be more issues that I haven't come across yet.
I have attempted to reinstall v8, same probs.
It seems like the drop downs may be off screen and I can't find them.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this?
Should I just upgrade to 13,14,15? I really would prefer not to for various reasons.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did speak with Igor from tech support(?) but he was only able to connect me to a link to download the older version that I had.

I would start with a complete uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Be sure to back up information you hold dear before doing so. That should (technically) fix it. If it doesn not, I would explore other ways, probably upgrading to the latest version.

JUJU, uninstalled and reinstalled, not repair, seems to work now,
thank you for the suggestion,

I'm glad it's working now, upgrading when you don't need / want to doesn't sit well with me.
